ASPI DC is delighted to invite you to attend a discussion exploring our recent report ‘Deterring an attack on Taiwan: policy options for India and other non-belligerent states’ on Tuesday 9 April.

The panel discussion, featuring report author Dr Arzan Tarapore, Managing Director of the Asia Pacific program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States Bonnie Glaser, Executive Director of the Global Taiwan Institute Russell Hsiao and Senior Research Fellow at the National Defense University Dr Joel Wuthnow, will be moderated by ASPI DC Senior Analyst Dr Greg Brown.

As geopolitical tensions rise, creating instability within the Indo-Pacific, it is important that countries employ all available options to reduce the threat of military conflict breaking out.

Written by Stanford scholar and former Australian Defence official Dr Arzan Tarapore, ‘Deterring an attack on Taiwan’ explores the vital role India can play in deterring China from unifying Taiwan through military force.

The report states that China remains deterrable, and while it is determined to assume control of the island as a key strategic priority, it knows a military invasion would be enormously costly and uncertain.

Join us in-person in DC as we explore the significant economic, diplomatic, legal and strategic narrative levers New Delhi can use to prevent conflict in the Taiwan Strait.
